Lakers Alltime Team Vs the NBA

[Sman2011]

Ok, I pick a team composed only of Alltime great Lakers, you pick a team of the rest of the nba who's ever played. Who wins?

P.G...Magic/Goodrich

Shooting Guard...Kobe/West

Small Forward (Worthy/Baylor)

Power Forward (Gasol/Howard)

Center (Kareem/Wilt/Shaq)

That's 10 guys, maybe add Nixon and Wilkes to the team to round out top 12 Lakers..

Obvious strenth of the team is center position, which no one could compete with, and then Magic & Kobe...

I don't know if they could beat the rest of the NBA, but they'd definitely give anyone a run for their money...

If I had to win one game with this squad I'd start the following

Magic...

Kobe

worthy,

Shaq (I'd move to power forward)

Kareem...Then bring in Wilt, Jerry West, Elgin off the bench...

Could any team compete with this

 

[MarkOU]

PF Charles Barkley, Karl Malone
SG Michael Jordon, Clyde Drexler
SF Larry Bird, Scottie Pippen
C David Robinson, Patrick Ewing
PG John Stockton, Derrick Rose, Chris Paul

Add Lebron and Wade

I'll take you on.

 

[wlk3]

I'd go...

Magic
Kobe
Baylor
Big Game
Kareem

Wilt, West, Shaquille, Cooper, Wilkes off the bench...

ATMD anyone...?

 

[RobToxin]

No Bill Russell?

 

[RobToxin]

All-time Lakers vs All-time Celtics would be awesome by itself.

 

[wlk3]

No Bill Russell?

My team was all Lakers like Sman, only I'd go small with Magic... Maybe even smaller...

Magic
Cooper
Kobe
Baylor/James not sure which
Kareem

 

[charlie42s]

The idea that you might start Shaq before Wilt just makes me laugh

 

[WhiteMamba]

Lakers all day

 

[WhiteMamba]

And West should start and play 40 minutes

 

[WhiteMamba]

I go

PG Magic
SG West
SF Kobe
PF Shaq
C Kareem

Rotate Jabar, Shaq, Chamberlain at 4 and 5... Occasionally Baylor at 4

Rotate Kobe, West, Baylor between 2 and 3

Magic plays 42 minutes

 

[WhiteMamba]

Opponent

PG LeBron James
SG Oscar Robertson
SF Larry Bird
PF Tim Duncan
C Russell

Bench: Malone, Stockton, Elvin Hayes, Olajuwon, Pippen, Drexler, Payton

I meant that for MarkOU who made an opposing team.

 

[shitsho]

Jordan
Pip
Lebron
Duncan
Hakeem

 

[WhiteMamba]

Not much love for Mr. Triple Double?

 

[Sam Sportboy]

I'd like to see Moses Malone on the all time team...........would love to see him and Shaq go at it.........

I dont think Moses could hang at all. He was only 6'10" and not as big as Shaq. Hakeem is the only person I ever saw that could at least hold his own with Shaq.

 

[MarkOU]

I just went with the Dream team minus the lakers and added Lebron and Wade.

This line up.

PF Charles Barkley
SG Michael Jordon
SF Larry Bird
C Patrick Ewing
PG Lebron James

Why not? I'll take on the Lakers.

 

[RobToxin]

I see what ya did there.
